Abstract
Social status is has been shown to influence school functioning. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of popularity on academic achievement and academic attitude in Chinese high schools. This paper examined the relation between popularity and academic achievement and academic attitude in a Chinese high school with 16 girls and 14 boys by using correlation analysis and linear regression analysis. The inconsistent result indicates that both sociometric popularity and perceived popularity are positively associated with high academic achievement. Only sociometric popularity is highly associated with better academic attitude. The findings reflect different academic cultures and values in varied cultures and highlight the importance of popularity in academic success.
